CURRENT MISSION

I quit my job, packed all my belongings and stored them in my parents' basement to travel the world für a while. After having travelled for 9 months in Southeast Asia, I am currently in Berlin for a couple of weeks before heading to to South America.

ABOUT ME

I consider myself a guy who is very considerate of others, friendly, laid back and easy going. I like to do sports of every kind (yoga, volleyball, jogging, dancing, surfing when I'm near the water), recently discovered my interest for buddhism and meditation, and I enjoy going out, listening to music, meeting people from around the world and improving my language skills (especially my Russian needs a lot of improvement :))

PHILOSOPHY

I am not sure whether that is my actual philosophy, but a pattern I keep finding in my thoughts when I think about the world is, that I hope that someday all the people will take more care of other people's needs and live in solidarity with all mankind.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate by offering a coffee or a beer (or sometimes even a party) at my place. Or by showing you around the city while I am in Germany. As soon as I settled back in to a new place in Germany, I'll be able to offer a couch as well.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I just (July '15) had my first 'real' cs experience when I stayed with a lovely couple in Phuket, Thailand. Unfortunately, have I never hosted someon myself.. However, I have met a lot of interesting people through CS especially when I lived in Zurich for a year. We just met up for a coffee or a beer or hung out at the lake...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I did an internship in an Ecuadorian NGO working with street-working children, which was a mind-shifting experience.

I volunteered at a dog shelter.....a crazy, fun, a little chaotic experience ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some German, show you how to cook some German dishes, give you some basic instructions on how to meditate....I think that's it. But if from reading my profile you think I could teach you something else, feel free to ask! :)
